Your server needs the game files from your own copy of Call of Duty 2, the same files your game uses. Until they're added, the console tells you they're missing. You can upload them or give the server a download link.
Uploading The Game Files
- 1On your computer, open your Call of Duty 2 folder and then the
mainfolder. On Steam, right-click Call of Duty 2 and chooseManage>Browse local files. - 2Log in to Bropanel and
Stopyour server. - 3In the sidebar, go to
Filesand open themainfolder. - 4Upload every
iw_00.iwdtoiw_15.iwdfile and everylocalized_file, for examplelocalized_english_iw00.iwd. SFTP is easiest for files this large. - 5Start your server.
Using A Download Link
- 1Zip your game's
mainfolder and upload the zip somewhere that gives you a direct download link. - 2Log in to Bropanel and select your server.
- 3In the sidebar, go to
Settings. - 4Under
Advanced, paste the link intoGame Files URL. - 5Click
Save & Restartto apply your changes.
The server downloads and installs the files on that start, which takes a few minutes. It only downloads once: when the files are there, the link isn't used again.
Note
Your game must be on version 1.3, which every Steam copy is. A retail CD or DVD copy needs the official 1.3 patch first.
